List of Django IDEs

As requests for IDE recommendations on the django-users mailing list/Google Group, and as I assume that anyone developing with Django knows they should search for answers on the net before asking, here is a summary of the most often recommended options.

Pycharm: proprietary, expensive, full featured with lots of Django specific features including GUI for project creation, extensive auto-completion even in templates,. Very often recommended on the mailing list. $100 for individual license, free for open source and classroom use. Review here.

Komodo: Komdo Edit is an open source editor, Komodo IDE is a proprietary based on it. Some features of the IDE can be added to Komodo Edit with plugins. Both support Django templates fairly well (including highlighting syntax errors). IDE costs $195 for a single license, $87 year for support and upgrades.

WingIDE: proprietary, full featured, Django support including template debugging. Single license $95 for non-commercial use, $245 for comemrcial use. Support and upgrades $89/year.

Vim plus plugins: not really comparable with any of the above other than Emacs, and I really do not want to get into that war.

What I have omitted:

Anything that is not cross platform

Plain text editors

Anything lacking documentation (Eric, at least as far as its Django support goes), positive reviews or recommendations on the mailing list.

I currently use Geany, but intend to try Ulipad, Gedit and, possibly, Eric. Geany is pretty good for something that light, but has some shortcomings: unintelligent (if generally effective) auto completion, no support for Django template language (highlights as HTML), and some GUI imperfections.
